Just stumbled across this info on gearboxes
http://www.protegefaq.net/transmission.html
there is multiple versions the F35M-R one with some good ratios.
3.666:1
2.059:1
1.392:1
0.970:1
0.795:1
FD 4.388:1
Anyone know if the 6 speed from the 3 fits (with its 4.3 final drive)?
Might cure the 1-2 shift hole and improve performance...
edit: I also saw corksports sells the 4.388:1 final drive set in another thread.
